Further Researches

We are convinced that what we put into our bodies has a direct link with our performance. In fact, studies show that good eating habits can increase attention spans, improve memory and boost well-being. For example, students who maintain healthy diets are 41 percent less likely to perform poorly in school. That’s why our dining options encourage balanced meals by combining tasty choices with nutritional value.

Encouraging physical activity and fighting against sedentary lifestyles can also impact health and productivity. Research shows that whether organizations subsidize gym memberships, offer access to health coaching or simply encourage employees to get up and walk, wellness programs can reduce sick days by 45 percent. Today’s forward thinking companies and universities even provide nap rooms to recharge tired minds or mindfulness training to keep individuals on-track and focused.

Sometimes in order to succeed with well-being goals, expert guidance and advice is necessary. Our services provide this support through our nutritional coaches who construct balanced meal plans or helpline counselors who give smokers the motivation they need to quit.

HOW DO WE IMPACT QUALITY OF LIFE?

Drawing upon extensive studies on individual perception of Quality of Life combined with 50 years of experience with clients and employees, Sodexo has been able to identify six dimensions of Quality of Life on which our services can have a real and measurable impact.

This first international study shows that decision makers recognize a link between improving Quality of Life and performance. It goes even further, to identify the specific business outcomes (such as image and reputation, business, financial performance and organizational efficiency).
